You mentioned that you have “seen a handful of DMO’s and CVB’s that have mastered social media”. Would you be willing to share who you think these are so others reviewing this post could learn from them?

I agree most that with social media it takes a dedicated effort to build engagement. Quantity will eventually get there (hopefully), but it's quality of contacts, followers, etc. etc. that's the key. Most DMOs and CVBs are still working in the traditional marketing mindset with social media as an after thought or an add-on. I think those who aren't on top of social media probably weren't on top of Web 2.0 to begin with...not necessarily a bad thing since they do have the opportunity to completely revamp. I think we'll see more companies out there offering 3rd party social media services so DMOs and CVBs don't have to take the long road and learn from their mistakes. But currently, I think there's still time. I see a handful of DMOs and CVBs that have "mastered" social media -- and there's still time to jump into the social media sphere without getting left behind. Great post.
